Good Morning

I am a man of 49 years
I had an initial weakness of the strength of my right hand that did not allow me to button, raise my zipper, turn on the car, I were falling objects.
My EMG went a bit wrong with suspected ALS
That happened eight months ago
Now I partially recovered the strength of my hand, 70%
and I turn on the car, I buttoned, and I have more strength in hand l
HOWEVER already I have symptoms of muscle spasms in both feet and both hands.
sometimes I have extensions and cramps that I can fix within 10 seconds of habersen presented
I have understood that sometimes in pacentes with ALS, the symptoms of weakening hands ? decrease,
the atrophy of my hand stopped growing, now I have more muscle mass.
I want to know if any of you had or has the same symptoms
I speak Spanish, this is a google translation.
I had to travel a lot and have not been back to the doctor
I have no other muscular weakness.
only my right hand weakness persists by 30%
have a history of gastric sleeve surgery done a year ago
Thank you for your support. I cherish very much
 
Getting better does not sound like ALS so it sounds like you are lucky when you are able to get back to the doctor I expect you will be told no ALS
 
thanks for the reply
 
"Improvement" and "fix" are not in the vocabulary of ALS patients...
 
GilWest and Nikki J and others

excuse my bad English, but understand something please let me know.

Hello, I tell them I am a doctor by profession and I have no idea of ​​this disease until I thought she felt the symptoms.

I understand that one with ALS never speaks of recovery, understand that "improvement" and "solution" are not in the vocabulary of patients with ALS ...

I really had a history of almost total loss of the strength of my right hand. at that time he did not have any symptoms in the other Member

I tell them that when I stretch or extend their hands and feet feel there is muscle cramps up to 10 seconds. I worry that the initial symptom was only in his right hand and now I have committed the 4 members. but now only cramps. I am treated as hand twisting or foot, but eventually straighten achievement.

EMG my medical specialist told me that just because I was a doctor I could tell that there was a high probability of ALS, I command you to do tests brain CT and MRI which went well, the only problem a kind of disc herniation in c5 or c6

Doctors are very ill patients, I denied what was happening, so lucky that I recovered from the lack of strength in my right hand, 70%.

But I'm scared because my EMG, had strong indications of ALS

Part of the medical literature talked all people have different symptoms, some symptoms seemed to disappear but then returned with more force.

everything anteriro to be such a rare disease, was what motivated me to write on this forum .. I want to know if they have actually heard that a patient has improved strength or then again relapse.

insistence sorry, I'm terrified I run out of power again.

I will go back to the doctor

Thank you for understanding ..

I hope your answers, you can write in English, so I do not speak English helps me google translator
 
There are reportedly accounts of remission in ALS but the occurrence is very low at, if I recall correctly, 0.05%.

In your case it seems more likely, and already mentioned, that this was incorrectly diagnosed as ALS.
 
Thanks, Gregk
 
ALS cannot improve.
If it were ALS, your hand would be paralyzed today.


ALS no puede mejorar
Si se tratara de la ELA, la mano se paralizó hoy.
 
Thanks Atsugi,

Muchas Gracias
 
Mike...how can you not understand Strayen if you can speak (I'm guessing, correctly!) and write Spanish?!?:)
